Iraq Combat Gets ‘Forensic Recreation’ Treatment as A24 Provides ‘Economy and Freedom’ to Alex Garland, Ray Mendoza for ‘Warfare’


A 2006 Navy SEAL mission in Iraq, comes to life in 'Warfare,' the new collaboration between Alex Garland and military veteran Ray Mendoza.

A harrowing 2006 Navy SEAL mission in Ramadi, Iraq, comes to brutally authentic life in “ Warfare,” the latest collaboration between “Civil War” director Alex Garland and military veteran Ray Mendoza. Mendoza, who survived the actual 2006 operation in Ramadi (about 70 miles west of Baghdad), chose this particular mission partly to benefit a fellow veteran who lost his memory of the event. The film features an ensemble cast, including Charles Melton, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Kit Connor, Joseph Quinn, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, and Michael Gandolfini.
